Sigh....

You know, there are a few here that really have repetitive roles in creating a lot of work for me.

Guys, I make $0 from this site, for years now. that was ruined by users who couldn't stop posting porn shit. I pay out of my pocket actually to keep the lights on. Anymore, it seems to be me paying for the luxury of spending time (more than I like) cleaning up threads because people just can't seem to be civil, get along, etc. etc.

I really wish a few of you would suck it up, use the ignore feature on the site, and really just relieve my fucking headache of having to deal with this Groundhog Day syndrome, the fucking petty wah wah baby shit. This goes from starting shit, to throwing fuel on it by defending yourselves.

Everyone, report derails. I will be watching for them. You better fucking report with clean hands though because I take the time to look back and see who "threw the first stone".

So heads up, from this day on, I no longer have the patience to be nice with short bans. If you can't man up, use the features that exist on this site to avoid being baited into arguments that, in the end, ruin things for others - you'll simply be gone - permanently or for a very long while.

Fair enough. Well said, I definitely took it too far.

methinks a certain someone instigates 90% of it (as evidenced by how comparatively chill things were during his hiatus), but other people definitely fan the flames.

some arguments are a lot more productive than others though so i hope you won't be too trigger-happy. to me the line is crossed when it deevolves into personal attacks (which has started happening lately, granted), but having a heated but focused argument shouldn't be a problem. i guess maybe if it's totally off topic...

See this right here is a perfect example of who instigates what(as im pretty sure he already knows). There isn't a day that goes by here when is sign in and not see my name mentioned by a few select people here in every other thread ... including today.

i mean that argument between TB and baroque happening at the moment in the '92 thread isn't something i'd want to see anyone getting banned over. if it turned into insults that's another matter.

 

[MetalAges]

I traced back the one from the weekend, and I've done same past few times, and in TBs defense he did not throw the first stone. He's just over the top in defending his point of view/self which then snowballs into what it did. So, I'm even referring to not being able to control the "well they said to me first so I ..." stuff. Constructive or civil arguments are gone, it's ALWAYS the personal nature ones that cause trouble.

@no country for old wainds tbh, i wouldnt mind if you and butt got banned for talking shit about me and trying to derail the albums kicking your ass thread literally hours after Deron posted this.

 

[The Butt]

In my defense I literally didn't see this until after I posted in the albums thread today, but meh. I admit I took it too far and will be making a serious effort to cease henceforth, but you were easy prey tbh.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Hey Daron, did you watch the 500?

edit: oh shit, i dont know why i thought you lived in Florida. The pic you posted of your rides reminded me of Florida for some reason.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

my bad on my behalf, man. You already know that im not going to bother or come crying to you every-time one of these guys tries(and succeeds) at getting a rise out of me. I was honestly hoping you would have caught all that shit earlier tbh. It's not like i enjoy having to defend myself from a few select people here every time i sign in and see the insults.

 

[The Butt]

With all due respect, people fuck with you because you are aggressive (in excess of what has come to be known as "excessive") when disagreed with. The fact that you don't see this, is part of the problem.

... you left the main part of that post out, sweetheart.

"With all due respect" no thanks, dont need it. IMO, the main part of the problem is people like you who cant get over the fact that ive made fun of you in the past(deservedly so), so you constantly heckle the shit out of me every chance you get. Especially you. All you do is throws cheap shot in from the side because you cant deal with the fact that i've chewed you up in the past. When was the last time i initiated a conversation with you? In all honestly, that kind of behavior IS one of the main problems here.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'm gonna try not to rise to anything anymore, i suggest everyone else follows suit so deron doesn't jump off a bridge.

 

[MetalAges]

Too late, I'm already dangling off a rope but I activated a wifi hotspot - we'll see how long my battery lasts.

 

[EspaDa]

I'm personally glad TB came back. He rejuvenates the forum as fuck but a lot of mess has gathered here recently.

 

[no country for old wainds]

deron your postcount is insane lol. i just worked out that comes to 60+ posts per day since you registered over 15 years ago. even CiG only hits 20-25 per day.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

It's all about self control. Lot of people need to learn it. Deflect insults with further insults against yourself or an even better joke like the rest of us happy go luckys and this forum would stay chill.

Its nowhere near as bad as it was when I first signed up. The Seriously Off Topic days...
